Adapted from The Roasted Root blog.

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons grapeseed oil or olive oil

½ large yellow onion sliced

1 large bulb fennel sliced

2 large parsnips peeled and chopped

5 cloves garlic minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger peeled and grated

2 tablespoons coconut aminos*

½ teaspoon sea salt or to taste

1 tablespoons to 2 butter

Cooked quinoa or cauliflower rice for serving

INSTRUCTIONS

Add the oil onion, fennel, and parsnips to a large wok and place on medium heat.

Saute vegetables, stirring occasionally for 8 minutes before adding the ginger, garlic, and coconut aminos. Cover and cook about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the cover, and continue sauteing another 8 to 12 minutes, until vegetables reach desired “done-ness” (Note: if you need more liquid at any point, add a small amount of water or more coconut aminos)

Add the salt and grass-fed butter, stir to incorporate.

Serve stir fry with choice of cooked quinoa or cauliflower rice.

*You can replace the coconut aminos with liquid aminos or low-sodium soy sauce.
